Pretty good. I take photos myself. Nothing special like yours just a digital. Maybe I'll post some.

and just gave anyone with a printer a free copy!

I'll leave the composition just as it is, I've already sold two copies of it at 8x10 for 25$ a piece.

Meh, dead center is weak. Rule of thirds man, rule of thirds.

Absurd! No offense meant, but who the hell would buy a print of that shot for $25?

DeTrevni - Not a bad shot, nothing too interesting, but competent.

A local place called surf's bought one for their walls (Cofee shop) and my floral manager bought a copy. When it comes to floral photography, You'll find your have pretty much three options for composition, And than you have macro. It pretty much comes down to the color and the flower, and if people like it.

If you sell, You'd be surprised at how people respond to pictures, My creative composure images dont sell nearly as well as my full on, Just going for color and clarity floral shots.


I've been at this for six years, and have been published by a couple publications. For consumer selling, Composition isn't all that, For publishing you need the creativity, But even than you'll see things along the line of that water lilly published every now and again.
